Lao Liu laughed and said, "I offer you a cup of wine, and you offer me a cup of tea. Both of us actually want the other's life! And we both want the other to die knowing why. So, you go first!"

Wen Yi nodded and said, "Elder Brother Liu, please ask. I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

Lao Liu said, "Ever since you told the Lord about the Ancient Well Temple, I've felt that you were working for the Coffin Gate. But I can't find out where you came from. What I want to ask is, what exactly made you give up the Lord's favor and help the Coffin Gate plot against Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall)?"

Before Wen Yi could speak, Lao Liu preemptively said, "Don't tell me you also come from the Coffin Eight Veins!"

Wen Yi shook his head and said, "Although I'm an old acquaintance with the people of the Coffin Gate, I don't have a direct relationship with them. As for why I want to help the Coffin Gate..."

"I can only say that everyone has their mission in life. When this mission is over, it doesn't matter whether this person lives or dies."

"I have been staying in Shen City just to hand over something to a person chosen by destiny."

"I think this person is in the Coffin Gate!"

Lao Liu's face sank slightly, "How do you know that the chosen one isn't our Lord?"

"Because he has Ye Yang by his side!" Wen Yi said, "Bei Yi Ye (North One Leaf), drifting alone. Ghosts are lonely, and people are ruthless."

"Bei Yi Ye is destined to be a lone star, a lone wolf. Staying away from him brings life, fighting him brings death. You can't not know that, right?"

Lao Liu smiled and said, "This legend is not credible. Although Bei Yi Ye comes and goes alone, it's impossible for every generation of disciples to be destined as an isolated star of heavenly punishment, right?"

"Star fortune entering fate requires a certain timing and number of days. Are the successors of Bei Yi Ye all born at the same time? If that were the case, Bei Yi Ye would have been extinct long ago!"

Wen Yi shook his head and said, "Of course not. The reason why Bei Yi Ye is invincible in the world and lonely all his life is because Bei Yi Ye's ancestor, Ye Qianyang, made a deal with a ghost god. He exchanged a lifetime of loneliness for invincibility."

"Bei Yi Ye is like a lone wolf. Staying away from him brings life, fighting him brings death, because the curse of the ghost god has never left the Ye family."

Wen Yi said solemnly, "So, the people of Bei Yi Ye have a characteristic, that is, they reject people thousands of miles away. Gradually, this kind of loneliness forms a kind of temperament, a temperament that the Ye family is born with."

"However, the Ye family can't be good to others. Whoever they are good to will die within two years. Therefore, the more the Ye family alienates someone, the more they are protecting them."

"Ye Yang and Li Po are brothers. Li Po won't live long. How can a dead person bear the mandate of heaven?"

"So that's how it is!" Lao Liu thought more than Wen Yi: "No wonder Ye Yang is trying his best to make things difficult for the Lord. It turns out he is trying to get rid of the ghost god's curse on the Lord."

"However, it is absurd to say that the Lord's lifespan is short. The Lord himself is a Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren (Yang Realm Life Borrower). Moreover, the lifespan on him has never exceeded two years, or even only one year."

"The Ye family's curse is not fatal upon contact, and the lifespan on the Lord is not much. Looking at it this way, even if the Lord is cursed by a ghost god, it doesn't matter much. The time limit of the ghost god's curse is two years and will not be reduced. Therefore, unless the Lord fails in his mission, he will never die."

"Moreover, the Lord inexplicably loses rewards every time he completes a mission. Don't you think this is the favor of heaven? Isn't it more proof that the Lord is the chosen one?"

Lao Liu didn't say one more thing. After I came out of the Little Yellow Springs, Black Impermanence made a Nine Ring Life Severing Blade for me, which can consume my own lifespan to cut off the opponent's life.

I have never used the Life Severing Blade because I don't have much lifespan. If, one day, I exchange for more lifespan, that blade can be used.

However, Lao Liu felt that Black Impermanence gave me such a blade to crack the curse brought by Ye Yang.

Wen Yi shook his head and said, "Elder Brother Liu, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't change my mind."

"Taking a step back, even if we put aside Ye Yang. Li Po can only become a leader among the younger generation of術道 (Shu Dao - arts and techniques), not a leading figure. He doesn't have the temperament of a leader."

"There happens to be such a person in the Coffin Gate who meets all the requirements of a chosen person. Do you think I will choose Li Po, or will I choose the Coffin Gate?"

"Of course, there is also a premise for me to help the Coffin Gate, that is, I can't hurt Li Po's life. It can be regarded as me repaying Li Po's favor!"

"Hmm!" Lao Liu said without haste or anger: "Brother Wen is still a bit benevolent."

Lao Liu changed the subject and said, "But Brother Wen, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. With the Lord around, the Coffin Gate can't even think about moving Liangjie Tang. Likewise, the Lord will personally bury the chosen one of the Coffin Gate."

Lao Liu looked at the indifferent Wen Yi and said, "How about we make a bet? If the so-called chosen one dies in the Lord's hands, how about you give that thing to the Lord?"

Wen Yi smiled and said, "Elder Brother Liu, you are trying to get something for nothing! If I accept your bet, the Coffin Gate and Li Po will have to compete, and if they can't decide the winner, I will never be able to take out that thing, and I won't be able to give it to others. Brother, you are too shrewd."
